Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness
Elizabeth A. Stanley, PhD
Creator of Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)®
Mindfulness alone has the potential to be more triggering than helpful for those with post-traumatic symptoms, but mindfulness used in a trauma-sensitive manner can be incredibly healing. A former US intelligence officer and an ordained Buddhist nun, Dr. Elizabeth Stanley is no stranger to the unique intersection of trauma and meditation. In this presentation, she’ll explore how we can work with mindfulness and trauma in a beneficial way.
Session Highlights:
- The thinking brain and the survival brain—their different roles and ways of being affected by stress and trauma
- The “window of tolerance” as a key component for healing
- Three key patterns of dysregulation and how to identify them
- Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)®—critical skills for trauma-informed mindfulness

Meditation for Radical Change: The Revolution Starts Inside
Justin Michael Williams
Transformational speaker, musician, author
Meditation isn’t about relaxing—it’s about becoming more alive. And if you grew up in the struggle—overcoming homophobia, sexism, trauma, shame, depression, poverty, toxic masculinity, racism, or social injustice—you need a different type of meditation, one that doesn’t pretend the struggle doesn’t exist. Join Justin Michael Williams to learn how meditation can help you move from awareness to inspired action in this engaging session.
Session Highlights:
- The two common myths that will ruin your meditation practice
- Discovering your “Unique Energy Signature” so you can experience the freedom that is your birthright
- Pinpointing the wounds that seem to be stopping you every time you try to grow
- Spotting “internalized oppression” and turning your mess into magic

The upgrade pricing is too expensive for people in India and I’m sure other people who are not well off financially. I too was disappointed that these talks were not openly available atleast until a week after the summit.
Thank you so much for this summit – it was mind-blowingly informative, insightful and empowering There is so much I have learnt and so much of my thinking that has been confirmed. It has opened me up to going even further and deeper into this body of work. I am curious…
I am disappointed that all the talks were not available until 31st, as I thought I had a little time to catch up. Some of the presentations were overwhelmingly insightful and I needed to take a break for a couple of days, but now I cannot access days 8, 9 and 10 unless I upgrade, which is not feasible for me right now. The series was great so far though, I enjoyed what I did manage to see. I am grateful that it was free for a few days.
Im feeling the same way. I thought I could catch up on the last few days and did not realize the upgrade was necessary. What I had the chance to watch was great content though
I agree and also feel this way. As I was viewing them on my phone, I did not realise that there was more than 1 session a day. So I was catching up with them and ended up missing the remainder of the sessions. What I was able to watch was great though and I wish they had been available for a few more days.
I totally agree., especially as someone who suffers from real ptsd it’s impossible to digest all of the talks in that amount of time 🙁
THANK YOU Jeffrey for your so beautiful, kind and most intelligent presence!
I LOVED this series and ALL the presenters contributed to the deepening of my own personal work as well as professional work.
EXCELLENT and HOPEFUL!
Thank you again,
I, too, purchased the upgrade and hope that i will get beyond technical challenges…
